Hi @nj2

In AEM, there are several methods available to safeguard custom AEM Forms from bot attacks. These methods can be implemented using either Managed Services or Cloud Services.
1.CAPTCHA:
2.Form Validation
3.Rate Limiting

4.Hidden Fields
5.JavaScript Validation
6.IP Whitelisting/Blacklisting
7. Security Auditing
Adobe Manages Services (AMS) and AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaCS) are different offers by Adobe.

While AMS is more of a hosting offer for "classic" AEM 6.5 (similar to on-premise setups but run at/by Adobe), AEMaCS is a Software as a Service (SaaS) offer. Also AEMaCS has quite some differences compared to AEM 6.5 [1].

For additional details on AMS, please refer to this documentation [2] or ask your Adobe representative.

For additional details on AEMaCS, please refer to this documentation [3] (or ask your Adobe representative).

Hope that helps!
